By chance I got a copy of Jose Maria's note LISTSEND V1.1
and I there is a need to make some corrections:
> Please note that the availability of LISTSEND V1.1 makes obsolete the previous
> version of LISTSEND, which I will no longer support, fix or distribute.
> Following the new policy for volunteer software, LISTSEND is NOT available to
> EARN users, but only to BITNET and NetNorth. I've moved the EARN AFDs to
> LISTSEND EXEC to a separate file, which I may restore later if the EARN
> situation betters.
1. Jose Maria is not an EARN volunteer! It is his Job to
contribute to the operation and development of EARN and DFN.
He is paid for this by GMD.
2. Although GMD isn't allways in favour of EARN decissions
GMD does not not support any strategy of imposing pressure
on the EARN administration by selectively distributing
technical solutions everywhere but within EARN. This is not
a way to improove EARN, it is destructive.
3. Since Jose Maria is employed by GMD and since the developments
he announced where on base of GMD-owned ressources he is not
authorized to give any statements on the availability. This
is especially true for strange and unjustified statements that
do not agree to GMD policy.
So the best thing to do for now is to ignore Jose Maria's quoted
paragraph. I guess better news are to follow when Jose Maria is
back from hollidays.
